Doug Jones

 For the last 20 years of my life, I`ve been wearing something unrecognizable. I`ve been acting for 20 years now and I`ve been under the radar. I was completely under the radar until Hellboy came along. And I did notable roles before, Billy Butcherson in Hocus Pocus which became like a Halloween classic over here on the Disney Channel, and I had smaller parts in lots of films like Batman Returns, Mystery Men, Adaptation, Three Kings, and they were even things with my own face in them. But I was basically actor of the day and I didn`t get much recognition, and guest-starring on TV shows that come and go and commercials that come and go. But Hellboy was the one that had real staying power, in terms of its notoriety and the size of the role I had. I guess I became a speck on the radar then, but now it`s Pan`s Labyrinth and Silver Surfer. Finishing Fantastic Four and Pan`s Labyrinth coming out with these Golden Globes and Oscar nominations has been a press frenzy for me. I`ve never been thrust in the public eye this much with me, Doug Jones, as name recognition which is happening now, which is new for me. It`s very exciting but still it`s nice to go to 7-11 and still be me. Nobody has to know, right?
